I have a whole new opinion of tattoos...

Took me a while (they are monster huge), but I just finished the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series. If you can get past the first 50 pages of book one, the rest is worth the wait. Books two and three aren't quite as slow to start. I had some issues with the graphic nature of the first book, but realized by book three that is was necessary. LOVE the damaged but feisty main character.

Parents beware. My fifteen year old wanted to read them. Although she is well beyond her years when it comes to reading material, I couldn't bring myself to turn her loose on books containing rape. I do not consider these young adult by any stretch of the imagination. 

If you invest in book one, go the mile and read two and three:)
